Hello
I am seriously thinking of putting a motorised system soon. I'd prefer a 1.2 dish but my local council allows up to 90cm, still not bad (but only 45cm, if placed on a chimney).
My biggest obstacle is that I live in a terraced house and the length of the terrace block is almost due south meaning if I mount the dish on the eastern side wall I will not be able to rotate the dish lets say from 13 deg east to 7 deg west. and similarly if the dish is on the west side, i wont be able to rotate to east.
my only other option (without having a second dish) is as far as I can see is the chimney. but there is this 45cm restriction!!
I have easy access to the chimney from the back, a flat roof kitchen, two-step for a small ladder! I'm thinking of putting 90cm dish on the back of the chimneystack!! nearby motorists will hardly notice it but those nuisance elderly ladies living on the top floor of an OAP flat at front of me house will surely raise an eyebrow!
Please give me your thoughts, any experience and encouragements!
Thank you very much, I eagerly await your response
